Prime Partners Program

The Prime Partners Program offers financial institutions an exciting opportunity to be recognized for commitment to improving access to justice for low-income Ohioans. The Program highlights financial institutions demonstrating a commitment to civil legal aid by paying a premium rate on IOLTA and IOTA accounts; by providing volunteers to legal aids, including board members; by donating resources to legal aid clinics or other community activities; and by any other effort which promotes access to justice in Ohio.

The selected financial institutions also offer IOLTA and IOTA accounts- lawyer and title agent trust accounts - with rates and terms above the minimums required to establish the accounts.

"We are extremely proud to showcase the community commitment of our Prime Partner institutions," said Angela M. Lloyd, Executive Director. "With the resources of Ohio's legal aids stretched beyond capacity, it is gratifying to see these institutions recognizing the great need of families, seniors, and veterans in their communities, and their dedication to helping address that need."

Prime Partner financial institutions will be promoted by the Foundation to members of the Ohio State Bar Association at the Association's 2014 Annual Meeting and Convention. In addition, Prime Partner financial institutions are regularly promoted on the Ohio Legal Assistance Foundation, Inc. website, as well as in print materials circulated to the legal community.
